Implementation of the cycle to work scheme for officers within the Department of Transport is a matter for my Department, whereas the broader implementation of the scheme is not. Within the Department, to date 16 staff members signed up for the cycle to work scheme since its introduction last year. The only cost to my Department is in terms of administration. It is estimated that total administration costs for the scheme will be of the order of €3,000 per annum.
